-\section{Building wxPython}\label{wxpbuild}
-
-I used SWIG (\urlref{http://www.swig.org}{http://www.swig.org}) to
-create the source code for the extension module. This enabled me to
-only have to deal with a small amount of code and only have to bother
-with the exceptional issues. SWIG takes care of the rest and
-generates all the repetative code for me. You don't need SWIG to
-build the extension module as all the generated C++ code is included
-under the src directory. If you try to build wxPython and get errors
-because SWIG is missing, then simply touch the .cpp and .py files so
-make won't attempt to build them from the .i files.
-
-I added a few minor features to SWIG to control some of the code
-generation. If you want to play around with this the patches are in
-wxPython/SWIG.patches and they should be applied to the 1.1p5 version
-of SWIG. These new patches are documented at
-\urlref{this site}{http://starship.skyport.net/crew/robind/python/\#swig},
-and they should also end up in the 1.2 version of SWIG.
-
-wxPython is organized as a Python package. This means that the
-directory containing the results of the build process should be a
-subdirectory of a directory on the \tt{PYTHONPATH}, (and preferably
-should be named wxPython.) You can control where the build process
-will dump wxPython by setting the \tt{TARGETDIR} makefile variable.
-The default is \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython}. If you leave it here
-then you should add \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils} to your \tt{PYTHONPATH}.
-However, you may prefer to use something that is already on your
-\tt{PYTHONPATH}, such as the \tt{site-packages} directory on Unix
- systems.
-
-
-\wxheading{Win32}
-
-These instructions assume that you have Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or
-6.0, that you have installed the command-line tools, and that the
-appropriate environment variables are set for these tools. You should
-also have Python 1.5.1 installed, and wxWindows installed and built as
-specified below.
-
-\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
-\item Build wxWindows with \tt{wxUSE_RESOURCE_LOADING_IN_MSW} set to 1 in
-\tt{include/wx/msw/setup.h} so icons can be loaded dynamically. While
-there, make sure \tt{wxUSE_OWNER_DRAWN} is also set to 1.
-
-\item Change into the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/src} directory.
-
-\item Edit makefile.vc and specify where your python installation is at.
-You may also want to fiddle with the \tt{TARGETDIR} variable as described
-above.
-
-\item Run \tt{nmake -f makefile.vc}
-
-\item If it builds successfully, congratulations! Move on to the next
-step. If not then you can try mailing the wxwin-developers list for
-help. Also, I will always have a pre-built win32 version of this extension module at
-\urlref{http://alldunn.com/wxPython}{http://alldunn.com/wxPython}.
-
-\item Change to the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/tests} directory.
-
-\item Try executing the test programs. Note that some of these print
-diagnositc or test info to standard output, so they will require the
-console version of python. For example:
-
- \tt{python test1.py}
-
-To run them without requiring a console, you can use the \tt{pythonw.exe}
-version of Python either from the command line or from a shortcut.
-
-\end{enumerate}
-
-
-\wxheading{Unix}
-
-These directions assume that you have already successfully built
-wxWindows for GTK, and installed Python 1.5.1. If you build Python
-yourself, you will get everything installed that you need simply by
-doing \bftt{make install}. If you get Python from an RPM or other
-pre-packaged source then there will probably be a separate package
-with the development libraries, etc. that you will need to install.
-
-
-\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
-\item Change into the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/src} directory.
-
-\item Edit \tt{Setup.in} and ensure that the flags, directories, and toolkit
-options are correct, (hopefully this will be done by \tt{configure}
-soon.) See the above commentary about \tt{TARGETDIR}. There are a
-few sample Setup.in.[platform] files provided.
-
-\item Run this command to generate a makefile:
-
- \tt{make -f Makefile.pre.in boot}
-
-\item Once you have the \tt{Makefile}, run \bftt{make} to build and then
-\bftt{make install} to install the wxPython extension module.
-
-\item Change to the \tt{\$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython/tests} directory.
-
-\item Try executing the test programs. For example:
-
- \tt{python test1.py}
-
-\end{enumerate}
